    Le Serpent Qui Danse

    I cannot believe how much I like this. Vanilla is not always my friend, neither is gardenia, and violet can be iffy. These in combination are really nice. Quite strong at first so restrain is required. The vanilla stays strong but not syrupy sweet like some. This scent reminds me of MAC Asphalt Flower but not so chemical.

    Rakshasa

    Just a little re-visit. This is my signiture scent now. I sometimes layer it with Evan Healy Rose/Vetiver to add a little more mystery.

    Snake Oil

    I think this must get even better with age. It's usually not my type of scent being vanilla based (so many of them smell plastic-fake-sicky sweet), but this has become really appealing.

    If you are a melon person, this is for you. melon with a little sugar on top. If you like melon, but a little less obvious and in your face, try Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat.

    Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat

    I usually hate melon scents. This was not particularly attractive in the imp. Wet through dry: This is just lovely. The melon is not overly strong and smells natural, not fake . Not too sweet as fruity scents can be. This is a wonderful summer scent. It could be worn anywhere. This may be a 5cc one for me. Five minutes later: I ain't waiting 'til summer. I'm wearing this tomorrow. What a surprize. Luv 'ya, lab.

    Hemlock

    This smells like a strogly herbal-forest scent on me. Pleasant, but I would like it better as a burning oil than a perfume. NOT a girly scent at all.

    Urd

    If you knocked down the wall between a candy shop and a head shop and the aromas of both combined, you would get urd. It's surprizingly nice. It smells too sweet on my skin, but I'll try it as a room scent.

    The Witch's Garden

    I probably wouldn't have taken notice of this, but received an imp with my last purchase. In the imp: Earthy, like a vegetable garden. Wet: Like herbal medicine. Dry: Like sweet carrots and herbal salve. Not horrible, but sweet in the wrong way.

    Lucy's Kiss

    This is a nice rose scent that smells like expensive soap or face cream. It's not particularly unusual, but would definitely be a good summer, hot weather scent.

    Windward Passage

    This is really not bad..... In vial: Very clean, ocean. Wet and morphing: Laundry with, OMG- yech, ammonia tossed in for extra cleaning power. Dry: Yay! Ammonia gone. This smells like what I was hoping Sea of Glass would be before it turned to cheap bargain bin candle on me. I got this as an imp, gratis from the lab. They sure know how to rope a girl in..... Later: Thiis simply wonderful. I have gone back to this several times. It's just great for times when I need to clear my head. It's reviving AND smells good.

    Femme Fatale Scents

    Harlot with the rose/cinnamon makes me think of a femme fatale. Feminine, but HOT!

    Josie

    This is one of my four District scents. I had ordered Emma over the holidays- love it. Today at the will-call I picked up Lulu, Crib Girls and Josie. In bottle: Glorous, glorious boozy peaches and honey Wet: Magnolias comin' in. Drying down: OMG, Dior's Poison??????? Go away and send Josie back in. I hate Poison. More drying down: OK, getting better, but I'm not sure if I love it yet. Considerations: This scent may go weird on me, I may have too many tried-on scents fighting one another or my migraine is playing tricks on me. Conclusion: This is a lovely scent. I like it. If it goes off with my chemistry, that's what my scent locket is for. The District scents are beautiful and unusual "boudior" scents.

    Lulu

    The District is becoming one of my favorite collections. I previously ordered Emma and tried the others today at the will-call. This scent is really lovely. It does smell like expensive soap; underline expensive and clean. I love it.
  14. Tanya

    Crib Girls

    I tried this on at the will-call today. Crib Girls did not sound like anything that would interest me, but I was curious. It smells like honey lemon tea on me! The honey does NOT smell like cheap, fake sugar goo as in so many scents these days do. This will be good during the hot, sour, stinky summer months. It's a nice daytime, weekend at home kind of scent. I'm glad I bought a vial.

    Emma

    This is a winner on me. The rose and vanilla is beautiful-very old-fashioned. Then the patchouli and pink pepper walks in. This makes me think of a woman who appears to be very refined and elegant (powdered and scented) but who barely conceals a darker sexy side. A madam in silk and satin (and who knows what underneath). I got a compliment on it the first time out.

    Zombi

    Wow! Something of a surprize. The wonderfully generous lab threw in quite a few imps with my last purchase. I popped this on thinking it would be so-so. What I get is a wondrfully fresh rose garden scent- earthy and clean. Definitely a 5cc purchase. Makes up for the fact that my newly purchased 5cc of Le Serpent Qui Danse went to my best pal as it just didn't work.

    Pannychis

    An attendant of the Goddess Venus. She presides over nocturnal pleasure, nighttime festivities, and all the joy and delight that can be found in the darkness. In later ages, it became the name of the all-night festival that closed the Eleusinian Mysteries. Night-blooming jasmine, moonflower, cardamom, sandalwood, black currant, ylang ylang, frankincense and lily. This is a beautiful floral in the imp. It smelled lovely when first applied. Minutes later it turned into cheap, discount bin, drugstore candle. The culprit: night blooming jasmine. AND it made my wrists itch.
  18. I get a lot of attention with Rakshasa, which I don't consider a sexy scent. Vixen a close second. I just put some Oneiroi on from a frimp and my cat won't leave me alone-go figure. I'm going to put on some O tomorrow and see if I can stir up some mayhem. I think the hottest item in my collection, so far, is French Love.-it's the one that makes me feel mysterious and alluring. Edit: Just previewed O from the frimp. Very lovely when wet. Very disgusting when morphed with my chemistry. Not gonna wear it tomorrow. Don't wanna attract weirdos. Even the cat ran away from me.

    Thanatopsis

    Got this as a frimp at my last Will-Call spree. Not my scent to wear, but I burned it in an amphora and it is fabulous. Definitely a 5cc for this purpose.
  20. Tanya

    Haunted

    You know, this ain't bad. I put one a little from a recently obtained frimp expecting the worst. This has turned into a sweet but soft, not too powdery scnet. Amber does not always work on me and I generally do not like powdery scents. On, it smells elegant and rather cheerful. These ghosts are in a good mood!

    Velvet

    Love this in the imp. Gorgeous cocoa-y vanilla exotic type scent. Not your usual everyday scent. I plastered some on. What's that smell- is something burning? Oh, crap. This smells as if someone threw some cocoa on a set of tires and set them on fire. Maybe a little pine-sol (original) tossed in. Now starting to take on a little public loo stink. Yep, this'll scare the boys off big-time. Damn my chemistry. I'll just have to sniff the imp. Doesn't that sound naughty?
  22. Tanya

    Tushnamatay

    Nice, very innoffensive. Soft, doesn't last extremely long. You could wear this to a yoga class without pissing anyone off. Good scent if you're not feeling too well but want to wear something lovely.
  23. Tanya

    Harlot

    I liked this the first time I put it on and loved it ever after. Roses and cinnamon-great blend. Pretty, playful, flirty. Thankfully it doesn' t change on me. It's a keeper.
  24. Tanya

    Dirty

    This is a great Saturday morning scent. You know, pop out of bed, make coffee to drink in the garden knowing you don't (if you're lucky) have to rush to work. Very uncontrived and agreeable. If you are looking for mystery, you'll have to look elsewhere.

    Spirit of the Komachi Cherry Tree

    This is a beautiful, soft, not in-your-face scent. I gave it a try due to a recommendation on this site for those who like Lush's Sakura. I find this to be very elegant. The Cherry Blossom stays true, on me. I'll be replacing this bottle when done. The Salon theme is great!
